About Kyoko Ohno-Matsui

Professor and Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Japan

Make a bold prediction for the future of ophthalmology.

Most surgeries will be performed by robots. Most diagnoses will be done with AI. So fewer ophthalmologists will be needed?

If you weren’t an ophthalmologist, what would you be doing instead?

I am not sure, but I like English – so, maybe an ambassador.

How do you think AI and machine learning will impact ophthalmology?

AI will take over most diagnoses, especially imaging and examinations. AI will predict the patients’ future vision. AI will predict who will get what kinds of eye diseases in the future.
